Eastern Market is reopening!

I almost missed the event notice when browsing the weekly e-mails I get from the Post, but two years after the main building at Eastern Market was gutted by fire, the market will reopen tomorrow morning at 11:00 am in a ribbon-cutting ceremony!

That bit of news brings a great smile to my face, as Eastern Market is a wonderful venue that I think everyone should visit at least once. And when I first heard of the fire two years ago, it really broke my heart to see the damage to the main building.

In the two years since the fire, a lot of the vendors have been operating either outside or in a temporary building, but now that the main building is reopening and all the vendors are returning home, a staple of DC culture can come back to life again, and a visit to the newly-opened Eastern Market might be in due order. :)
